Naoki Organic Ceremonial Matcha for Tea Enthusiasts - Authentic Japanese First Harvest from Kagoshima (40g / 1.4oz)

Exceptional Matcha from Japan

At our brand, we take pride in sourcing top-tier matcha and tea from Japan's finest tea-growing regions, delivering them directly from farms and manufacturers to you.

Our Commitment to Quality and Flavor

Our mission centers on enhancing your matcha experience. Currently, we offer seven distinct varieties of matcha to facilitate a rich tasting journey. One of the primary challenges we aim to tackle is the disparity in matcha quality. It can be difficult for consumers to distinguish between high-quality matcha and those that are overpriced or subpar. We strive relentlessly to provide premium products across various price ranges.

Passion for Matcha

Though seemingly simple, matcha boasts a wide array of flavors that can range from sweet and nutty to savory and complex. These nuances arise from the differences in tea leaves and cultivation methods, leading to a myriad of tasting possibilities.

Our Journey

Our origin story began with a single type of matcha. Today, we collaborate directly with a network of tea growers and manufacturers throughout Japan, now curating seven unique matcha types for our customers.

The Benefits of Matcha

Matcha delivers a gentle, sustained energy boost without the jitters often associated with coffee. This is thanks to the combination of L-theanine, an amino acid, and caffeine, both naturally occurring in matcha. Additionally, matcha is abundant in antioxidants, far exceeding those found in regular green tea.

Understanding Matcha Blends

Matcha is made from shade-grown tea leaves ground into a fine powder, and the final flavor is determined by skilled tea masters who blend different leaves together to enhance specific flavors. Each region in Japan offers distinct flavor profiles. For example, Kyoto-style matcha emphasizes balance and umami, while southern regions produce lighter, sweeter varieties.

As global appreciation for matcha grows, we anticipate the emergence of innovative flavor profiles. Discover the traditional frothy usucha (thin tea) at home with our tips for preparation.
